Breaded Fish Patties with Basil<\/h1>\n

I have a beautiful basil plant inmy backyard and it is getting pretty large, so I planned to use it in my cooking.Here is a recipe I have been making for a while \u201cBreaded Fish with Basil\u201d. The recipe uses a generous amount of basil! Basil has a natural affinity to fish and here is a good example for that. This beautiful fragrant herb lends the fish a wonderful depth of flavor and a bright color. I have shared the recipe with my friends and they always come back with rave reviews. It is dairy-free and eggless too!<\/p>\n

Basically these breaded patties are fried but can easily be baked as well! They would be great served with a drizzle of basil olive oil sauce or simply a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve them with baked potato wedges or French fries! The recipe makes about 10 \u2013 12 patties. An ultimate comfort food!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leave the fish fillet out to defrost (if frozen) just enough that you can cut it with a knife. Rinse and pat dry with kitchen paper towels. Cut the fish into medium squares. Place in a food processor (you may probably need to do that in batches) and blend until you have a smooth paste with no solid pieces. (Remove obvious veins) Set aside!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Place the onion, garlic cloves and basil leaves in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pulse until finely minced. Set aside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mix the basil mixture with the smooth pureed fish andpulse to incorporate together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With your hands, shape the mixture into 10 \u2013 12 balls roughly the size of a tennis ball<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Form into steak-sized patties. In a shallow container, place the breadcrumbs and dredge both sides of each patty, completely covering the fish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Heat oil to an adequate frying temperature and fry the fish patties, in batches, to a golden color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To make the basil olive oil:\u00a0<\/strong>Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you have a smooth paste!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Or serve with basil olive oil, optional!<\/p>\n
